@ByClaytonDavis None of those actors were the *only* nominee in their category whose film wasn’t nominated for BP, like Hawke is. If you’re the only one not from a BP movie, you don’t win. It has happened only once in 97 years (William Holden in 1953). Hawke isn’t winning.
Another #Oscars record was shattered today, and it's one I'm a lot less enthusiastic about...
This year, 8 categories are filled 5/5 by movies nominated for Best Picture: Dir, Supp Actor, Adapted, Casting, Editing, Cine, Prod, Score.
That *doubles* the previous record of 4.
I've always thought the expanded BP ballot was a good thing, shining a spotlight on different kinds of movies that never would've had a chance before. But now I'm wondering if it isn't just encouraging laziness in voters, like they don't have to look outside it for anything else.

There's so much less variety and spice in the Oscar nominations these days and I find that depressing. Sure, you still occasionally get an out-of-left-field pick (what even *is* Viva Verdi??), but overall you can just expect the same 10 suspects to show up over and over again.
